27 And the leaders and elders mourned, and the virgins and young men became weak, and the splendor of the women was changed.
28 Every bridegroom took up lamentation, and those who sat in the marriage bed mourned.
29 And the land shook on behalf of the inhabitants in it, and the entire house of Jacob was clothed with confusion.
30 And after two years of days, the king sent the prince of his tributes to the cities of Judah, and he came to Jerusalem with a great crowd.
31 And he spoke peaceful words to them, in deceitfulness; and they believed him.
32 And he rushed upon the city suddenly, and he struck it with a great scourging, and he destroyed many of the people of Israel.
33 And he took the spoils of the city, and he burned it with fire, and he destroyed its houses and the walls around it.
